Hi everyone of the SSR,No doubt you're all looking forward to the joys this season brings being just around the corner so I thought I'd just update you on our Christmas donations.At the beginning of the month I told you all about the North Guildford Food Bank and our donation to them.Well, today I'm pleased to pass on an update from Ant and Alan on our donation to The Vine Centre, and hopefully our donation of £500 towards Pantomine tickets will be able to add a little bit of cheer into the people in need this Christmas in Aldershot and the surrounding areas!The Vine Centre is based in Aldershot, Hampshire and supports the local community of Rushmoor and the surrounding areas providing a broad range of services to the most disadvantaged members of the community.Ant writes "Alan and I met Lesley - the vine centre CEO who talked us through everything they do for the local community - not just the food. They offer alot of self help classes ranging from help to understand financial matters, getting a job, cooking all the way through to gaining qualifications. They also offer 1 on 1 help/counciling sessions.They're a very nice team made up of both staff and volunteers. Some staff started as volunteers and some even started as people attending for help. It was very nice to be there and help them."Please remember, this is only possible thanks to your continued support attending WheelsDay.WheelsDay registration is open now so if you'd like to show your vehicle (or know someone who might) why not head over to www.wheelsday.co.uk and register your interest today. Remember its totally non-profit! Theres also a FAQ section which will hopefully answer most of your questions as well including, price, location, date, etc.Thanks to everyone who has and continues to help us each year, and hopefully I'll have atleast one more update to post before Christmas too!All the best this Friday the 13th!AndrewSSR ...

Well ladies and gents of the SSR,The first of December is here which means the festive season is upon us. As we all get ready to enjoy good food, good company and fun times its not always easy to think of the unfortunate people out there for whom winter and Christmas is a very difficult time of year.With the increased costs of heating a home, feeding a family and presents for young ones, Christmas can be a time of year that some families find is a breaking point in their lives. Christmas should be a magical time of year and I hope you all agree that every child should have something magical to look forward to no matter how hard times are.As you all know, we always donate to great causes around the christmas season especially those involving families and especially children. We used to work quite a bit with the wonderful team at Eagle Radio based here in Guildford (until they were sadly taken over and closed down by Bauer) and their many appeals over the years. One of the key people there was the breakfast maestro himself, PG who we were fortunate enough to get to know. He's a man of many talents and involved in many things locally including the wonderful pantomine each year at our lovely local theatre, the Yvonne Arnaud. And so when it came to our idea for this years christmas family donations, we luckily had an insider who was able to point us in the right direction of someone who could help.And so it is with a huge thankyou to The Peter Gordon Page for his assistance and the wonderful guys and girls at The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre we have been able to get 80 tickets to this years pantomine at Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre #Robinhood.And to help us get them out to those who deserve them, our thanks goes out to the wonderful team at the North Guildford Food Bank who will be choosing 20 families in need in the Guildford area, who will each be getting 4 tickets as a little something extra with their Christmas food parcels so that Christmas can be a truely magical family occasion!Keep your eyes peeled for further updates as Guildford isn't going to be the only place to be getting a Christmas family panto treatment from the Surrey Street Rodders!As always, we'd like to send you all a huge thankyou for your continued support. WheelsDay gives us the means to help wonderful good causes all year round and without your support we simply wouldn't be able to make a difference in peoples lives. You are all truely great!!!!All the best for now,AndrewSSR ... See MoreSee Less

Ladies and gentlemen of the SSR,I'm pleased to announce registration for our special half century anniversary show WheelsDay 50 is open at www.wheelsday.co.uk for trade, single car passes AND club stands!The show this year is Friday 18th April at Newbury Showground.The process is the same as the previous near decade of Wheelsday shows. Please upload your details to the site for your chance of a pass. We have some great things planned for this year's special show which will be a nice surprise to all who attend.Single passes - please only apply for a single pass if you are not hoping for a club stand pass. Club stands will be approved a month before the closure of single car passes, so if your club is unsuccessful in their application you will have 4 weeks to apply for a single pass. Single car passes will be picked the first week of March.Club Stands - after great consideration on my part (and some club members questioning my sanity) I've decided to open myself up to the hassles of organising club stands again this year. Please apply on the website rather than emailing direct! There will be 25 club stands offered with space for a maximum of 20 cars on each stand. It is your responsibility to fill the space your are awarded as you see appropriate. If you wish to display flags, gazebos etc please add this to your info in your application. 1 stand per club and 20 vehicles maximum is the limit! No ifs or buts. No multiple stands for clubs. Club stands will be awarded in February so anyone who is unsuccessful will have the chance to apply for single passes.Traders - please apply via the website using the trade button at the top. Our trade team is ready to start logging your details before approving applications closer to the show. The sooner you apply the better for everyone. Please be patient however for a response from our trade team. They may take some time to acknowledge your application.And lastly, thankyou to everyone who continues to support us in our 50th year. It's your support that make it possible to raise funds that we use to support great causes each year. Last years support has allowed us to donate £1000 a month each month to a great cause this year on top of other great donations. We will have more news to post soon of great causes we are supporting up until the end of this year so keep your eyes out for our future posts.Without you attending our events to support our work we would be unable to make a difference to a lots of peoples lives who are in need. So from all the SSR club, a huge thankyou!!!If I've missed anything here I am sorry. I am writing this while taking a breather from stripping a Daimler V8 engine.As usual, i will post updates as we progress towards the show; but for now head to www.wheelsday.co.uk and get registering.All the best,AndrewSSR ...
